"The Villa" at Stove Prairie Ranch - a timeless classic situated in a historically unique landscape. This local landmark in the Foothills has magnificent views, abundant granite and natural water supplies on site. From this location you have easy access to the Poudre Canyon, Fort Collins, and Loveland. This landscape also enjoyed an amazing history - as a significant past residential site for the Ute Indians, the early white pioneers and the Pony Express. 150 years ago, Jacob Flowers established a regional town, which he named "Bellvue" (- 'the beautiful view' in French) and he pioneered the first functional road over the Rocky Mountains now called "Old Flowers Road". This Villa and the neighboring historic Stove Prairie Ranch and School are at the beginning of this historic road. Construction on the villa began in 2007 and was completed in 2009 - with the entire villa built out of full thickness granite, all handpicked off the property. This work of art is composed of various artifacts, some dating back 2,000 years. Maintaining an affinity with the arts, the structure features a third-floor art room, with perfect lighting and views. It honors the traditional classic villas of the Renaissance and its connection with nature is evident in all the windows that frame the landscape. The Villa being sold is sitting on an expanse of 35 acres. Beyond the art and history this home is luxury at its finest. Featuring arched ceilings that are 14 feet high. Ease in layout and functionality with its two elevators. German wood windows, dual hinged to open and tip. Indoor pool and lounge. Library with a wet bar and a private office. A formal dining with separate serving entrance from kitchen through the bottle room. Multiple options for entertainment and living spaces all with radiant in floor heating.
